2310 trans fluid level

builderpaul · Aug 2, 2015

Good morning,
My first post on this board.
Picked up a 2005 - 2310 - to catch up on some neglected projects.
With a flashlight I can see the sight window to determine the fluid level.
I didn't see any fluid so I bought 2 gal of Permatran111 and started adding.
I used most of the container (maybe a quart left) when it started overflowing.
I still cannot see any fluid in the window.

Questions:
Can the fluid be so clear you don't see it if the window is full?
Should you see a fluid line in the window or just all fluid?
I used the machine with trans full for about an hour and it worked fine should I drain some out?

Thanks
Paul

Yes drain the fluid out and refill so that the fluid level app. 1/2 way on the sight window. Yes it is hard to see when fluid covers the window.

Any ideas how to add dye to make the fluid level easier to read? I have the backhoe mounted on GC2310 and have a very clear view of the sight glass window using an inspection mirror, but the entire window is a honey color and cannot see any line. The hydraulics and hydrostatic drive performance both showed signs of starvation until I added Permatran, but I still cannot read anything by watching the sight glass.
